Cleveland Cavs star Lebron James will host the season premiere of "Saturday Night Live" on NBC and WKYC on September 29th at 11:30 PM it has been announced by a publicist for the network.
The 22-year-old James will be the latest, prominent athlete to host "S-N-L" -- following in the footsteps of his boyhood idol, N-B-A superstar Michael Jordan, who hosted the show in 1991. Last season, Colts quarterback Peyton Manning also hosted an episode.
Perhaps his recent stint as "Bobby Brown" at the ESPY's Awards on ESPN got him some notice... If not, it just could have the positive reviews he got from just co-hosting that show earlier this month with comedian/talk show host Jimmy Kimmel.
